hey guys looking to order my new set of tires. will a set of 285 35 18 fit my rears? i know the e55 guys run it but idk if it'll fit my rears I'm on stocks

Yes it'll fit.

The chassis is identical.

They "will" fit but not look right. They are also a bit tall, and with the lack of low end torque on the 6.3 acceleration will suffer. 285 will look a bit squeezed on the stock wheel. The 285's really need a 9.5" minimum. Stick with a 275 max. on the stock rim.

it will fit but might rub depends how low you are . I got 285 winters on oem 63 wheels on my 55

Does 285 help with traction? E55 needs all it can get

rockthemullet

Lol.

Of course wider tires will help. 285 is a good size, it's still way below what will fit in the rear but a good increase. I would go with 265 in the front to minimize under-steer as well.

Is it? I thought the E63 rear end was different to the E55 is it not?

JoeNobody

E63 has different axle ratio, but otherwise the rear end identical.

FWIW I have a W211 CDI with AMG 8.5 ET30 on 235/40-18 on the front, and 9.5 ET33 in the rear w 285/35-18's. It a good fit, but if you really want those 285's I would go with the 9.5 wide rims.

with the lack of low end torque on the 6.3 acceleration will suffer, LOL
